Hunt for sea-shells on one of the tallest mountain in Great Britain
Yup, you read that right! You can actually hunt for seashells on top of Mount Snowdon, the tallest mountain in England and Wales.
Without a big, boring history lesson, the area that makes up Snowdonia National Park was once at the very bottom of a prehistoric ocean. Forced up by tectonic activity, the ocean bed has now become one of the UK’s tallest mountains (after Ben Nevis).
Grab your walking shoes, head out onto the pathways and climb your way to the summit. Just make sure to watch out for any fossilized seashells (or sheep for that matter). It really is one of the more unique things to see and do in Great Britain.

Now, The Scilly Isles are a very special place to discover in the UK, set around 30 miles or so from the coast of Cornwall, these islands benefit from the warm gulf stream air that heats the island's waters and air.
